Baby Kit

Remember that gift I made for a friend who just had a baby?  Well a friend asked me to make her one for her niece who is also having a baby.  What fun!  So here it is.  

It's brown with white polka dots.   It looks kind of black here.  It also has a pink lining.

 A diaper clutch and changing pad.

 A bib and two zipper pouches for whatever.

I had a lot of fun making things with a girl in mind.  I don't get a whole lot of that in this house.  Right now I'm getting ready to go and try to make Adrian a pair of pants, brown pants.  Pretty exciting stuff!

Brotherly Love

Here's some brotherly love to last you through the weekend!

OLMA

On Friday we all went to St. Gallen for  the Olma Messe.  It's a big agricultural exposition .  We had a nice day, and the boys especially enjoyed the pig race.  Here are a few pictures of what we saw.  

One big bull weighing in at 2678 pounds!

There were all kinds of different kinds of cows.  

I thought this girl looked a little bony, but apparently that's just the type of breed.

I just had to get a picture of this cow, sharing my sister's name.

This little piggy went to market...

This is where we watched the pig race

waiting...

and waiting...

still waiting.  We left and came back later for the pig race.

On our walk back to the car we walked through the old part of St. Gallen.  It has some very pretty buildings and if I wasn't freezing and my camera battery hadn't died, I'd have taken a few more pictures.

Abbey.

We had a nice day, but I was glad to get back to the car and head home.  

Count Down

Grandma and Grandpa Clay are coming to town.  We are counting down the days with a paper chain.

Every day we try to take one off.  Ryan could care less, but it helps Adrian.  Without the chain he asks me, on a regular basis, 

"When will grandma and grandpa get here? Tonight? Tomorrow?..."  Now we have the chain.

One day down...
